Shredding the beets in this side dish cuts down the cooking time
considerably.  *NOTE: Original recipe used 1 Tbsp oil  **NOTE: Original
recipe used 1 Tbsp oil  Cut off the beets then separate the leaves from
the stems at the base  of the leaf. Discard the stems. Wash the leaves
well and cut into  strips about 1/2" wide. Set aside.  Heat oil in a
large skillet. Add onions and saute for 5 - 8 min,  until soft and
translucent.  Meanwhile, peel and coarsely grate the beets with a hand

med-low heat for 8 -  10 min, until greens are tender.  Cut between
membranes of the orange to section. Set aside. Mix  together the orange
juice, mustard (either Dijon or whole-grain  mustard will work for this
recipe), olive oil and salt. Drizzle over  cooked beets and beet greens
just before serving. Top with orange  sections. Serve hot.  Either
Dijon or whole-grain mustard will work for this recipe.  This was good.
I think that it needs some salt to bring out the  flavor a bit
more...but salt is a food group for me!! It has a very  interesting
taste. I can see that it wouldn't be for everyone...but  if you like to
experiment then try this recipe. It does make a lot so  make sure you
use a large skillet to cook this in.  Entered into MasterCook and
